New clubs impact school, world

This year LHS welcomed three new clubs: sign language club, meme club, and SAVE club — allowing students to express themselves in new ways by focusing on what they feel passionate about.
Sign language club, under adviser William Autrey, teaches students how to sign different words and form sentences in American Sign Language.  
  “I wanted to join sign language club because I think it’s important to know more than just the English language,” said Hannah Bolm, junior. “I also thought that doing sign language club would benefit my dream of having a career as a teacher so that I would be able to teach my students something that is not necessarily in balance with the everyday norm.”
Sign language club meets every Wednesday after school in Room 109.
The purpose of meme club is to “discuss and talk about memes and their quality,” said Ace Smith, sophomore.  Members also have fun researching and creating their own memes.
Smith said he really liked memes when he came to the high school, so he was excited to find a club where he could express himself by creating them.
“The club is pretty much in its infancy at this point,” said adviser Cyrinia Lockart.
Club officers welcome in feedback from students on what they would like to see.
Meme club is they meet every Wednesday from 2:30-3:00 p.m. in Room SB7.
SAVE club, Students Advocating for a Valued Environment, has been revived by senior Emily Hunter and Adviser Kristin Delp. However, Delp said that Hunter is “the one really running the show.”
  The environmental club encourages students to help the planet in any way they can. So far, the club has adopted a part of Lewiston’s Main Street to clean it up. Members also empty classroom recycling bags at LHS, and pick up trash and items for recycling around town.
“They are a good group of kids who are serious about what they are doing,” said Delp.
SAVE meets every Wednesday at 3 p.m. in Room SB8.
